Independent Wine Sales Ambassador- California

Job Description:

EVERGREEN FAMILY WINES + REAL WINE COLLECTIVE

Launch Nationwide Recruitment for 100+ Independent Sales Ambassadors

Two Leading Washington Wine Producers. One Nationwide Sales Opportunity.

SEATTLE, WA — Evergreen Family Wines, founded by acclaimed Washington grape grower Jerry Milbrandt and winemaker Brandon Rice, has partnered with world-renowned winemaker Charles Smith to expand its Independent Sales Ambassador Program nationwide.

More than 100 experienced wine professionals are being recruited to represent a combined portfolio of some of Washington State’s most respected and recognizable wineries across key U.S. markets.
Designed for independent contractors with strong distributor and account relationships, the ongoing program gives experienced beverage professionals the opportunity to build distribution, drive sales, and increase market visibility while earning uncapped commission, performance incentives, and a weekly travel stipend.
Ambassadors manage their markets with significant autonomy while working closely with national leadership and distributor partners to increase placements, depletions, and long-term brand presence.

WHAT WE OFFER:
• Ongoing Independent Contractor Opportunity
• Uncapped Commission
• $120 Weekly Travel Stipend
• Performance Bonuses & Incentives
• Flexible, Self-Directed Schedule
• National Sales & Marketing Support

BUILD THE BRANDS
Conduct tastings, staff trainings, events, and account activations while educating buyers, trade partners, and consumers on the wineries, wines, and portfolio positioning.
BUILD RELATIONSHIPS
Leverage and develop relationships with retailers, restaurants, chains, sommeliers, distributors, and key beverage decision-makers while becoming the local face of both portfolios.
DELIVER RESULTS
Track placements and account activity, execute against territory goals, communicate consistently with national leadership, and earn additional incentives based on performance.
